So many stories
After struggling on the streets for 6 years, and desperate for help, Paul brought himself to us when he was just 10 years old.
Gilgil is a town 2 hours north of Nairobi. Like many similar townships afflicted with poverty and the reality of starvation, some of the most vulnerable victims are young children, abandoned or orphaned, and left to fend for themselves on the streets.
SANCHAT offers some (as many as we can) hope and the chance to make something of their lives.
The context is grim but the fruits of our projects are uplifting. With the help of generous donations, we take children off the street. Some are already scarred by drugs and need the extra care of our Restart Centre. Others become part of the SANCHAT family, living and learning in our Boys or Girls schools.
Sanata means ‘healing'. Our philosophy is to give each child the emotional and physical support they need to develop; a sound education, the feeling of family and love, and the practical skills to provide a platform for later life. Over 1,700 children have passed through our care
SANCHAT works. It relies on help to survive. It needs more help to develop. Our staff are superb but our buildings are basic and restrictive. With your help we can improve what we already do and extend our support to the many children we currently cannot practically help and who remain the innocent victims of the poverty they were born into.
SANCHAT works. Please help us in whatever way you can and allow more children to escape their desperate existence and fulfil their potential within the family of SANCHAT.
Our website will soon be packed full of interesting information - please keep popping back to watch it develop it's potential (just like our children!).

Here Come The Girls!
We have long been striving towards providing girls with similar opportunities to the boys in our Restart. We are really happy to report the beginnings of this new venture with the first little girls entering our doors!
THANK YOU FOR GIVING
We are so grateful to the growing numbers of people who are giving of their time to cycle, climb, swim, parachute (and other equally gruelling activities!) with SANCHAT as beneficiaries of their fundraising efforts. If you are planning to participate in a fundraising event or would simply like to make a donation please take a look at our Bmycharity page.
